Thanks....although less than $100.00 would concern me considering insurances, equipment cost and maintenance, liabilities etc. Less than an hour might also mean the company may have a minimum charge to start their engines. The resonable charge may be somewhere in the middle....of course it depends on the risk you want to assume and the quality of the service provider.
